Synonyms, Trade Names, and Properties edited by G. W. A. Milne
Gardner's Commercially Important Chemicals serves as a companion to Gardner's Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names.
Gardner's Commercially Important Chemicals reflects the continuing research underlying Gardner's and presents a major expansion of the information provided for individual chemical compounds.
Gardner's Commercially Important Chemicals contains 4,174 entries drawn from various sources, like the EPA.
For each chemical, the appropriate identifying information (CAS Registry Number, structure, molecular formula and chemical name) is provided and in each case, and an exhaustive list of known synonyms for the materials is given.
These synonyms include other identifiers, chemical names, trade names and trivial names in English and other languages.
There are, on average, some 18 synonyms for each chemical. Chemical properties of the compounds are given, as is information concerning known uses of the chemical. Biological data, in particular acute toxicity in various species, is provided as available. Finally, companies that manufacture or supply the material are identified.
A feature of this database is the inclusion of physical properties and use data for pure chemicals.
Properties that have been provided as available include: the melting point, boiling point, density or specific gravity, optical rotation, ultraviolet absorption, solubility, and acute toxicity.
The major uses of most of the chemicals are indicated and, where appropriate, regulatory information is also provided.
